What is a Missionary Evangelist?
There is such a
great harvest today so that many missionaries are needing help in the
in-gathering of souls in their field of labor.
“And they
beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they
should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so
that they began to sink.” (Luke 5:6-7).
Some Missionary
Evangelists work in a specific region Others internationally in a
specific capacity of ministry Each have several years of experience of
ministry on the mission field as fully appointed Missionaries. All work
along side of the missionary in each country helping him in the area of
need for his field.

are called to help the missionary on site train the national brethren
in evangelism and follow-up. We use the Home Bible Study concept for
this. We also help coordinate crusades and other evangelistic thrusts
in conjunction with this training.
Sunday School

Showalter has developed a National Sunday School Department in both of
the countries where we have labored as full time missionaries. This

exciting results happening in every region of the world, in this area
